Treyvon Robinson, 8, played with his friends in the front yard and danced to music playing at a birthday party a few houses down in the 7100 block of South Wood Street.

Then the shots rang out, and Hershell Robinson saw Treyvon spin and fall.

“He was standing there by that fence post,” he said. “I think I heard three shots. Other people said they heard four, but I stopped counting when I saw him fall.”

On the other side of the city, a 12-year-old girl was playing with her friend at Mason Park, at Karlov and Maypole avenues when a gunman emerged from a nearby alley and opened fire.

Her friend, Shacoya Collins, also 12, was on the swings nearby when the shots rang out. Shacoya said she crawled over to where her friend was sprawled on the ground near the sidewalk with gunshot wounds to her right ankle and left buttock.

Everyone is safe.

Police said 19 people were injured in shootings across the South and West sides of Chicago overnight, 13 of whom were shot within a 30 minute period around 9 p.m… the victims ranged from 14 to 28 years old.
